The Centre offers guidance and support to students in developing and enhancing their academic performance and transformative educational experience.

The CLT mission is embedded in distinct DWU mission:

• Harnessing the power of information and communication technologies for knowledge creation, knowledge sharing and for sustainable development practices of care for people and the environment;
• Promoting research and postgraduate studies while addressing the issues of quality, relevance, access, equal opportunity, peach and social justice;
• Enhancing standards of excellence in learning and teaching, and research for all staff and students;
• Emphasising the development of moral and ethical behaviour in public, private and professional life based on Christian values. (DWU 2016-2026 Master Strategic Plan, p.1)

The CLT has been established in 2018 to accommodate and assist in achieving Divine Word University’s mandate. The Centre is committed to providing leadership in promoting an academic culture at DWU campuses and assist staff and students in achieving their full professional potential.

The commitment to enhancing the seven qualities of the DWU learning and teaching leads the Centre in its activities in 2021 - 2022.
